Pop manual lock cover off with utility knife, unscrew retaining screw underneath, and unscrew retaining piece (if very tight, use opened tips of needlenose pliers to loosen).

Remove 7 screws around perimeter of lower edge of door to remove door bin. Don't forget screws inside door box that go into door latch region and under the lid at outer edge into door.

Unpop door panel by pulling gently on door. There are 3 pop-in nubbins - 2 towards the car and 1 on the outer edge. Unplug power window plug and speaker plugs. Be careful as door still has speaker in it -- it is very heavy and door panel will bend or even break easily.
Pop-in rivets circled in red, plugs to undo circled in green.
